Hi Joost,
I too have this problem few weeks ago. What I did was:
1. Run xf86config
2. When it asks me for "Do you want to use XKB?" say yes.
3. Choose a preconfigured keymaps. I selected then: "1 Standard 101-key,
US encoding"
With this one, no more fiddling with xmodmap or anything, Backspace & the
Delete key simply works.
